Good win, kind of match Liverpool would have collapsed in last year, early days but the game against us in a few weeks already looking really important
Playing poor and winning. Phillipe, Mane, Roberto, all invisible in the first half. No fight, eleven strangers, Lovrens poorest game this season? Their goal, on a plate, provided free of charge. The Swans should have been 2-0 up at half time. Second half, better - could it get any worse? - should still have been at least a draw, if not a win for the Swans.
Karius, 93rd minute, coming out - going back - coming out - freeze time, and Van Den Hoorn decides to miss.
Inspirational Reds? Title challengers?

Massive win, first half was really bad for me so to get any sort of response was fantastic.
Hate the early games but the pressure is on everyone else now to get results

go back to the match thread numpty
Jimmy we only played 1 half poorly. 2nd half we bossed it.
I can't fault your logic guys, and my first sentence said it all. Maybe it's because I read so many posts on here before the game that were unreal, as to how we were going to massacre Swansea, and we didn't. Hence my post on Thursday.
OK, rant over, we won. Sorry.

Jimmy,
Why so much negativity?
Yes, first half we were poor, but second, we came out strong, dominated and could and should have scored a few more.
Winning when not playing well is the sign of a title winning side.
I must admit I haven't been impressed with Karius so far, but it's early days for him and I trust that Klopp knows what's He's doing.
Again, I can't fault your logic or post, Inger. I wonder, out loud, what our manager said to them at half time, and how he said it.
As I said before, playing poor and winning may well be the sign of a title winning side, maybe it was the degree of domination by the Swans, without effective reply that's got my goat. I was scathing of the Mancs when they did it, game in, game out.
But it begs the question: is there consistency? Second half, yes, fighting for everything. First half, poor, very poor.
Rant and negativity over, here's hoping for a draw between City and Spurs.
JimmyTheRed
I agree with Jimmy, too many were people getting carried away. I am all for positivity but prefer realism.t
I never saw the first half but second half I thought we were in control
Karius in the last minute was a bombscare. Mignolet would have got slaughtered for that
Your 90min pressing is quite impressive, although it’ll be interesting to see whether you can keep it up the whole season.
Sturridge has become a nothing player these days. Isn't Origi higher in the pecking order?
Vishnu
I agree regarding Sturridge, he slowed the game down a few times today when space was opening up
He slows you down way to much one or two touch football until he receives it and then he hangs on to it for to long.
op..yeah a great win, the most important this season for me. The players will have learned a lot from that, 1-0 down an HT away from home vs a team fighting for their lives; to come back in the second half and win...ust brilliant
Vishnu
I can't disagree with anything you say, you obviously know your football hehe

Nah, Swansea were always going to sit back second half. The goals came through very poor defensive errors which shouldn't be coming at this level.
Nothing wrong with playing poor and winning though, all champions do it.

We forced them to make those errors. We play a brand of attacking football so we press team in making mistakes. On the other hand your team plays so negative dull football.
I know most of the Man United posters here were waiting to for us to lose hence the idiot stretfor whatever his name was made an article on how we could
I think we need to stop all this title talk, the players will freeze, and to be honest to think like that after just 7 games is embarrasing.
Lets just enjoy every win, and then move on, good 3 points now the mancs!
lose the game against your lot in two weeks time when you will play hoofball.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Here we go the sturridge hate. Yes sometimes he holds the ball a bit too much but when he does passes and assists there killer balls although they wrent great today. His movement was 2nd to none and with a bit of luck he would of got a goal he defo needs it. He wasnt great but he wasnt exactly bad. To call him a nothing player is very disrespectful.

Jimmy agree with your points on the game although certain reds fans unfortunately dont like honestly. Good win playing well, but we need to better in defensive areas again and against Man U we have to be on point from the 1st min. I think Can should start against the Mancs.
You can't play brilliant every game, its impossible individually, collectively, and because the opposition always have say on how you play.
First half criticise us but also credit the opposition. They pressed us, got in our faces and made sure we were in a game.
You can tell we are a good side by how hard they were having to work though to do that. Their two centre mids were absolutely knackered after 55 mins, and both ended up getting subbed. While our players were turning on the power and threatening to overrun them completely.
The defence was worrying today. We have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks but today was back to old levels, and they should have scored more than 1. In other recent games we have conceded but its been the oppositions only real chance, so its no big deal.
Today they had three gilt edged chances and luckily for us missed all but one of them (but then poor teams will miss chances, thats why they are down the bottom).
Hopefully we will do better defensively. Man Utd will throw crosses and long balls into our box I have no doubt, so we will have to deal with that better.
Going forward though we look irresistible when we turn the screw. The pressure builds on the opposition and we throw bodies in the box. Its reminiscent of Fergie Man Utd at their best when they were chasing games, you can just feel the goal is coming.
So work to do, far from the finished article (but then nobody expects us to be), but we are a very good side who are rightly considered title contenders, if not likely winners.

Biggest win so far!!!!!
